Cauffee Espresso Bar and Bakery

My number one spot for road trips back home up north.
These ladies know their way around a latte and some baked goods.

I Remember as a kid I think this used to be a Halo Burger.
It had changed hands over the over the decades but in my opinion, this iteration is by far the best use of the space and also indicative of what Au Gres has to offer.
The pastries and snacks here are amazing, even varieties that I don't normally go out of my way for.
My top recommendations would be the sea salt chocolate chip cookies that are always soft, and shortbreads. Shortbreads are so perfect and buttery you would assume they were imported directly from England.
I usually get mine with one of their amazing London fogs. Chef's kiss!
Their coffees and blends are heralded by many of my coffee nerd friends and family.
Once I get them hooked, they always return.
And if you are traveling with the dogs or have a few back at the summer cabin, the homemade dog treats are a must.
The women inside are always fun and cordial.
They can spill the tea with the locals while simultaneously chatting up and entertaining The travelers while still maintaining a professional manner and delivering your order quickly.
The prices cannot be beat especially for the quality of what you're getting in return.
There is limited space inside, just enough to place your order and step to the side.
This is not an issue since the parking is right up to the building within a few feet at the entrance.
There's the lovely shaded porch area in the front to enjoy your treats and sip your caffeine.
Should you be in the surrounding area, heading out to the lake with a bay for some fishing, or live nearby this is a real gem of a place.

Don't drive by, you're missing out. Best hidden gem around!! I had a creme brulee espresso coffee that was without a doubt the best cup of coffee I have ever had. If I could give this place more stars, I would have. The lemon bars were equally delicious. I'll come back despite it being a half hour trip from me ❤️

On a road trip just happened to stop here in route to our destination. What a pleasure! They had a great selection of non dairy milks! Also I tried the grilled pb&j , it was great! We ended up stopping again on our way home! Their fresh baked goods look delicious!!

Awesome new cafe in town. The pastries are to die for, and it's nice to finally have a cup of coffee beyond Folgers brew at the old school ma and pa stops. This Cafe is a great new path for Au Gres future in service industries and hospitality. Original and new, while staying to the classics. Highly recommended, and a must stop in the area.

We ordered the crème brûlée latte yesterday afternoon and it was outstanding. I genuinely enjoyed it. We both did. Smiles

Great little coffee & pastries shop. Hope it survives. Just what the sunrise side needs.

This review has multiple sections.
I had a crème brûlée and my gal had a peppermint mocha. Absolutely awesome coffees. I’m not a coffee drinker but this drink makes me want coffee more often. It tastes just like the dessert.

Also, the donut muffin is heavenly. It’s dense like a fry cake, crumbly like a delicious muffin, but tastes like coffee cake. I just want all of them.

The pecan bar….I want this as a pie. When warmed up, the middle has a texture with the crisp top of pecans and has such a unique taste. Not too sweet like most pecan treats. Almost seemed like it had the flaky balaclava style pastry

My gal had the cheese danish and also just delicious. Flaky pastry and had the right amount of preserve and icing on top.

I’m glad this place is back open and just crushing it under the new management.

Go here and buy the strawberry rhubarb jam, it’s so good I called ahead and she made me 8 jars (yep it’s that good)! The coffee is good too, creme brûlée is the go to for me. You will not be disappointed I promise.

Love this place. Convenient and fast service every time. The breakfast burritos are amazingg. So are the baked goods!

Me and my brother like to go here when he visits. Very friendly staff and great coffee!
